Welcome to another of 'Joe's 3 C's'
In these posts I will try to bring you something Creative, Something Cool and something Commercial.
The format for these 3 things will vary, from images, videos and websites to unique applications, tips tricks and tutorials. Mostly print or 3D related but some things may be thrown in just because they ought to be shared (probably in the Cool part)!
There will be some terrible jokes thrown in at the end too!
Being a bit of a geek for all things design related, hopefully I'll be able to find some interesting bits and bobs to share with you!

Welcome to number 54 of Joe's 3 C's!
Something Creative...
'Swedish designer and artist Nina Lindgren of Stockholm, designed and constructed these fantastic cardboard city sculptures reminiscent of some sci-fi and dystopian cityscapes.'A Floating City and Cardboard Heaven by Nina Lindgren
These sculptures are simplistic and bare with no decoration and only tiny windows, but I think that adds to their mystery.

Something Cool...
The home decor market is a huge opportunity for digital printers. From wallpapers to lampshades and desk wraps to curtains there are so many applications that you can offer with a wide format printer.
One of the applications that seems to keep popping up on social media channels and in both home and commercial environments is floor graphics.
In the home it has taken a while to be recognised but seems to be gathering pace. With rented accomodation you were traditionally limited to what you can change in terms of decor, however with the introduction of removable films and the ability to custom print what you want we have a great solution.
A large floor display will not be for everybody, same as with full wall graphics...but for some it will be just what they want. And it doesn't have to be a themed graphic like the water ones for bathrooms, even a new wooden floor effect will be siginificantly cheaper than the real thing!
And now for something completely different, from a simple, easy and quick way to change the appearance of a room with a floor graphic...to a carving that took 4 YEARS to complete, but that is most definitely Cool!

Something Commercial...
A nice little article from Medium.com entitled 'A Simple Guide To Saying no'.
Also I am sure that I am like many of you, in that I will try and help out friends or colleagues in any way that I can.
In customer service 'the customer is always right' (right?) but there is a time, place and method to saying no. It is very important in getting a balance and not burning out!
One last thing for you today, a Creative Cool and Commercial packaging concept from:
Designer: Jun Hun Yap Project
Type: Concept
Location: France
Packaging Contents: Wine Packaging
Materials: Wood, Paper
Source: http://www.packagingoftheworld.com/2015 ... ncept.html
Using a mixture of engraving and print, this is a great example of some really nice artwork making the difference to a product (of which I am a fan).
That's all for this week's Joe's 3 C's!
Ciao for now...have a great week!

People think I'm weird because I swallowed an abacus.
It's what's inside that counts.
